Parkes polarimetry of 600 pulsars

by Simon Johnston (CASS)

In a recent paper accepted by MNRAS, Simon
Johnston and Matthew Kerr present polarization properties for 600 pulsars
from observations with the Parkes radio telescope at 1.4 GHz. This is the
largest dataset ever published and will provide a rich legacy dataset for
observers and theorists alike. - Four pulsars are shown in the Figure above,
covering a range of pulsar parameters. The full dataset can be obtained
from the CSIRO data portal.
